11 months old suddenly wanted to be fed in night

[Lulu41]

My ds for the last two nights has woken up crying between 2-3 which is most unlike her as we co-sleep quite happily normally and the only way to get her back to sleep has been to feed her. I have just returned to work in the last two weeks do you think its anything to do with that has anyone else had this problem? I have not fed in the night since she was 5 months - any suggestions?

Teething? Feeling poorly?

My dd started doing this, and we tried everything. She has a dummy (very controversial at the moment!) and it got to the point she was waking 3-4 times in the night and all she wanted was her dummy so once i popped it in, she was asleep again. Pain in the arse as you have to get up.
I now feed her as i go to bed (between 10 & 11pm) which satisfies her til the morning. I know ive made a rod for my own back, but when youre desperate to sleep and your not being allowed to it seems an easy and agreeable solution. At least i get a full nights sleep (some of the time!!) however, i would use this as a last resort as its prob not a good idea (im sure someone will want to tell me off now!!) I think your right in that she is prob needing to know youre there as youve started work again and will prob settle down once she gets used to the idea.

It may be that she is going through a growth spurt and needs more food during the day ?
